Universal Studios Orlando Job

[Sara Goltsch]

I applied for a job at Universal Studios in Orlando, FL and I got a response back saying that I was not able to be considered for the job because I do not live in/near Orlando. It says nowhere on the job posting about them looking for people who live in the area of Orlando.

Has anyone else had this happen before? Is there a way for me to be considered even though I don’t live in Orlando? I am willing and able to move to Orlando in a matter of a day or two if need be for this job. I live in New Jersey but will relocate. I have family that lives in Florida and considered putting their address on the application as mine to maybe get me farther in the hiring process. Any suggestions? Helpful tips?

I sadly don't have any tips, but I can't wait to hear how you planned on working in Orlando while living in New Jersey, or moving across the country within a day or two. Hold on, I'll get the popcorn.

The same thing happened to me before I moved down in 2004. You have to be a local who can be called in for an interview with very little notice and unless you live here that won't happen. Plus there are plenty of local folks who need employment so they aren't going to take someone out of state. If you really want to live here, you are going to have to move down and see how it goes. It's a big risk but there is no other way around it.

Unless you are applying for a high end/senior professional/career full time position they won't bother. (Lead, architecture/engineer, or high end creative, etc).

Those types of jobs are more at Universal Creative than universal proper (although they will have some too) These typically require a ton of experience and/or education though.

What do you mean by Universal proper? Creative has their offices on property.

Universal Orlando Resort and Universal Creative are distinct organizations.
